![mailgun benchmarks groundhogg](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/mailgun-benchmarks-groundhogg-1600x813.png)

**Important:** You [must set up your Mailgun webhooks as outlined here](https://www.wooninja.io/2019/11/14/getting-started-mailgun/) prior to using these benchmarks.

**Email Opened**

Runs when a contact opens an email sent via Mailgun.

**Email Delivered**

Runs when an email is successfully delivered to a contact’s inbox.

**Link Clicked**

Runs when a contact clicks a link within an email sent by Mailgun. Important, you must use link tracking in Mailgun for this benchmark to function.

## Settings

In the Mailgun Settings section of Groundhogg, you will find the following settings:

**Webhook Signing Key** – This is provided by Mailgun to verify that a webhook from their servers is genuine.

**Verify Webhooks** – Using the key above, our extension will verify each webhook is genuine. We recommend you enable this option.

**Update Contacts** – When enabled, we will attempt to update a contact based on the information returned from Mailgun. This will include geolocation data. Importantly, by default, we do not overwrite any information that is already entered for a contact. We will attempt to update:

- Country
- Region
- City
- IP Address
- Timezone

**Auto Unsubscribe** – When enabled, we will automatically unsubscribe a contact when an email permanently fails. This can be useful to keep your list clean, improve deliverability and decrease bounces. We recommend you enable this setting.
